The Family aspiration from The Sims 2 is back! Thanks to Zerbu's awesome Mod Constructor I have recreated the Family aspiration.

The original aspiration had 6 levels and each were different depending on age. So I took the 1st from Teen, 2 from Adult, and 1 from Elder. When creating each level I pulled from the name and the original aspiration's wants. In the end, the aspiration sorta became a mix of the Soulmate Aspiration and either of the BG Family aspirations.

The aspiration will give your Sims whims; though none of them are new whims. Basic things, like Read to a Child, Help a Child or Teen with Homework, Try for Baby, etc.

Pride and Joy:

*Have First Kiss
*Have a Romantic Interest
*Have a Boyfriend or Girlfriend

Role Model:

*Be a Young Adult or Older
*Get Engaged
*Get Married

Family Rock:

*Be an Adult or Older
*Have 2 Kids
*Read to A Child

Town Father/Mother:

*Be an Elder
*Hug 20 Times
*Have a Grandkid

Family Guy/Gal Trait:
With this trait, your Sim will get boosts in the following skills: Cooking, Gourmet Cooking, Baking, Gardening, Handiness, Fishing, and also gets smaller boosts in Mixology, Photography, and Charisma.

The trait gives boosts in the following careers: Detective, Culinary, Babysitting (though this would require a mod)

The trait also triggers 2 buffs. The Long and Happy Life Buff occasionally appears and will give a boost in all the same skills as the trait. It only appears for 1 in-game hour and is a Happy buff. The next buff is Ah, Kids! which is a Playful buff, though there are no boosts from it.

What's Next?:
I'm currently working to recreate all The Sims 2 aspirations (except Grilled Cheese, since it's already in the base game). If you have any constructive feedback, I'd love to hear it. Depending on the feedback I get, I may release an update to this aspiration.

Conflicts:
Since this is not an override, there shouldn't be conflicting with any mods.
